How's that a penalty the ball gets literally hit into him from close range and he's just jumping ????

He sets a precedent. Anything that hits your hand is any which way is basically a penalty then

Until the same thing happens to Silva in their box, naturally 🙄

It is 50/50 for me, I don't think it sets a precedent though. There have been a lot of close to contact handballs that have been decided one way or the other. I expect a more thorough explanation from PGMOL tho.

It's bullshit is what it is, how the fuck you wnat peoples to defend then, chop off their arms? Mudryk basically aims it at the arm.

Romero for Tottenham has been on 2 sides of this decision. One that has benefited us.

Romero was further away and was doing a Suarez unintentionally. This was nowhere near the goal.

I disagree. This is a 50/50 call.

I mean you can't tell from a single image but that's a 50/50 for me depending on how fast that ball is, leaning pen

[–] coygsu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can watch the videos. These are both 50/50 same with Saliba's. It is how the law is interpreted.

I mean if that's the case it's a stupid law but ight I suppose; still not a pen for me
